Lunch Program

Nourishing Mind and Body

Elementary students are constantly on the go and seem to grow – literally – right before our eyes. We know lunchtime nutrition and diet are important to parents and a critical part of student success. We provide the necessary fuel with healthy lunch options to sustain student energy and help them be at their best.

Healthy, Fresh Food Every Day

Prepared onsite in our state-of-the-art kitchen, our lunches are out of this world. Fresh, organic, healthy, kid-tested, and delicious, our lunch menu is created by our own dedicated chef and culinary staff. The multicultural cuisine changes weekly with a vegetarian option every day. We understand food allergies and sensitivities, and we partner with families to keep our diners safe.

Flexible and Family Friendly

Have a picky eater at home? No problem. While our lunch program is offered every day, you can choose which days your child will eat a school-provided lunch or pack a lunchbox from home. Our lunch ordering system is flexible, requires no pre-ordering, and is managed by each family online.

Teaching Responsibility

At Carey, lunch is about more than eating. Our students and faculty eat together, building community. Our older students learn responsibility by helping to serve the younger students and cleaning the lunchroom. We also use lunchtime to teach environmental responsibility through our composting and recycling program, “trash-free” lunch days, and encouraging our students to take only what they need.
